Unlocking Peak Performance with LMH Optimal Therapy

For gym enthusiasts and athletes, training hard is a lifestyle. But what happens when muscle strain or a stubborn injury holds you back? Here at LMH Optimal Therapy, we believe that optimal performance isn't just about how hard you push - it's also about how well you recover. With specialised chiropractic care and sports massages tailored for active individuals, we can help you stay at optimal performance for longer.

Why Athletes Need Chiropractic Care

When you hit the gym regularly, your body endures repetitive strain and high-impact movements that can lead to misalignment, joint stiffness, and muscle tension. Chiropractic care can help by:

Improving Mobility: Adjustments realign the spine and joints, promoting better movement patterns.

Boosting Performance: Proper alignment reduces muscle compensation and improves strength output.

Speeding Up Recovery: Enhanced blood flow and nerve function help muscles recover faster.

Preventing Injury: Addressing underlying imbalances lowers the risk of overuse injuries.

Preventing Injuries in the Gym

Injury prevention is a key part of long-term success in fitness. Whether you're lifting weights or smashing cardio sessions, adopting the following strategies can help you to avoid setbacks:

Warm-Up with Dynamic Movements: Activate muscles and increase joint flexibility with moves like leg swings and arm circles.

Prioritise Form: Proper technique reduces unnecessary strain on our joints and muscles.

Progress Gradually: Increase intensity or load in gradual steps to avoid sudden overload injuries.

Listen to Your Body: Pain is a signal - if something feels off, don’t push through it!

Rest and Recover: Muscle growth happens during recovery, so make sure to prioritise sleep and active rest days.

Exercises to Boost Recovery and Performance

In addition to chiropractic adjustments, try incorporating some of these exercises into your routine to help improve performance and aid recovery:

• Bird Dog for Core Stability: Strengthens the core and promotes spinal stability, essential for heavy lifting.

• Hip Bridges for Glute Activation: Engages the posterior chain, helping to reduce and ease lower back pain.
